    • Apr 22, 2021

  • On Divine Mercy Sunday, Christians beckoned to be vessels of grace

    On Divine Mercy Sunday, Christians beckoned to be vessels of grace

    • Apr 11, 2021

    God’s grace desires to pierce our world, which was made good, but is now fallen. There is no battle between supposedly equal forces of good and evil. Such false drama is not reality. The true battle is between a good world and an illness – a spiritual cancer – called evil.

    Response to the risen Christ will trigger either explosion or decline

    • Apr 4, 2021

    The proclamation of the Lord’s Resurrection has been passed down through the ages, accompanied by the Christian way of life. The two are inseparable. The Resurrection gives meaning to the way of life, while the way of life embodies and gives credibility to the Resurrection.

    Girl’s battle with cancer inspires faith in friends, family

    • Mar 24, 2021

    On March 15, Constanza Alva de Urmeneta got in the car behind the hearse for the funeral procession of her 15-year-old daughter, Pía Urmeneta. Typically, somber occasions, it was apparent from the second they drove off the church lot that this was instead a celebration of Pía’s life, just as she had wanted.

    At Passiontide, a reminder the Lord really does want us to die to self

    • Mar 21, 2021

    As hard as it is to hear, the Lord Jesus truly wants us to die to ourselves and to follow him. There are no if’s, and’s, or but’s. It is an unconditional surrender.

  • At Lent’s midpoint, are we ready for the risen Christ?

    At Lent’s midpoint, are we ready for the risen Christ?

    • Mar 14, 2021

    In truth, God is infinitely perfect. He doesn’t need a reboot, an upgrade, or any assistance from any of his creatures to be somehow better or more relevant, or more kind, or more merciful.
